BIG RAPIDS – In a cooperative
effort with Ferris State University’s HVACR program, the Air
Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute’s Educational Services is
sponsoring its second Regional Instructor Workshop July 10 through 12 in
the Granger Center for Construction and HVACR.

ARI’s education department has hosted instructor workshops in Arlington,
Va., for 11 consecutive years. The regional workshop was inaugurated in
response to attendees who cited the need for training that would
accommodate those people unable to make it to the main event in
Arlington.

The workshop consists of a full three-day agenda of technical training
combined with opportunities for attendees from 63 educational
institutions across the country to socialize and network. The event’s
“Education and Industry Idea Exchange” includes such topics as codes,
steam school, Psychrometrics, brain research and learning, developing
tests, fan laws, Direct Digital Controls, strategies for creating
effective lesson plans for real models, emerging alternative
technologies and recruitment strategies.
